The pizza was so good I had to bring my parents back to try it the following week. This is a southside Irish bar with great food! We loved the pot roast poutine and again, the pizza was my fave. The service was fine, the staff was busy and running around. But friendly when we did see them. The ambiance is what you'd expect from the location and type of establishment. No big surprises. I'll go back for the pizza when I'm in the area. read more

This review is one that should've been done a very, very-LONG time ago. We've been coming to this fine establishment for 4+ years. Since then, we've had the privilege to sample quite a few items on the menu- and can't say that one was mediocre or needing improvement. One of their top appetizers would be the pot roast egg rolls- mouth watering, filling and very satisfying. However, today I'd like to talk about their breakfast menu and the service that makes your meal even better. We've come to the conclusion that Clancy's (on 103rd) is by far our go to breakfast place- no questions asked. Dana, who is the opener, manager, bartender, server & class act- is who makes us keep coming back. You know she cares about her clientele- always greets us by our first names-she knows what we drink- remembers it- and has our breakfast orders memorized, as well. Of course, she verifies if we're doing the same- and of course- we always do. If you haven't met her- you probably should- great sense of humor- the sarcasm is on point and an overall- real, down to earth, kind person to start your morning with. . Clancy's is lucky to have her on their team. On to the breakfast.. The pot roast hash is what I order..EVERY. SINGLE. TIME. The pot roast is cooked to perfection- comes with potatoes, onions. two eggs (I choose over-medium), toast (I recommend the sourdough- which they get fresh from the bakery next door), and then complete this dish with a Guinness gravy. I can promise you that this favorite breakfast of mine is also a generous portion-They really do hook it up and trust me...you will want whatever you don't finish for later. Keep it up, Clancy's!!!My husband and I will continue to advocate your establishment. You're greatly appreciated. read more

Clancy's Pizza Pub - My absolute favorite breakfast: The Pot Roast Hash. This is an older pic- and really doesn't do it the justice it deserves 3 3 3 - Pubs Near Me - Oak Lawn, Illinois

First Time here, based on a recommendation, and we will be back! This place is a keeper for someone's "list-to-go". Started off with the Irish Nachos (pot roast option). The meat was so tender and moist. The black olives would not have been my first choice, but I get it, nachos need olives. ;-) Also had the french onion soup. Great taste, very herbaceous, not too salty. Finished off with the crispy fish sandwich. Another WINNER :-) Perfect crispy crunch, portion size fabulous. Hubby had the corned beef sandwich and gave it 2 thumbs-up. Server was very attentive and the pace of food was perfect. read more

I visited this place for the first time for a birthday and while I was a little apprehensive about the look, the food was actually quite good. This place has an old Southside feel to it and has a bit too many video gambling machines. I was here for a kid's party which seemed a little weird because this place is NOT really kid friendly. Thats ok that its not kid friendly as well. Kids don't have to be EVERYWHERE, but it just wasn't set up for families. I will say that I was impressed by the food. They have a whole "eggroll" section which honestly, I could have just ordered all of those! We went with the Irish ones which were perfectly balanced with ingredients and were nice and crispy. We also got the pizza which was good, but not entirely earth shattering. The pizza is thinner and crispier so I will give them that! Its a true tavern style since we are in, well, a tavern! Finding a bar with good food can sometimes be hard anywhere you go. I will say that this bar gets the seal from me for "good food". I might even bump it to excellent. Big Menu, Big Drinks, and Big Tastes! Sounds good to me! read more

Improve service. Full of MAGA propaganda. Pizza is fair. Place needs a facelift. Done with review.

The food here is very good. My go to is the stroganoff, you get a lot for the price. It is always delivered fast and hot

My family had dinner tonight at Clancys and it was superb. The chicken pot pie dinners were out of this world, as were the birria tacos. Our server Chloe was friendly and made sure we were taken care of. The ambiance was fun and the bartender Keith was a hoot! Clancy's has a great, affordable menu, and is known for delicious pizzas too. We will definitely be returning! read more

I've been told they have really good pizza and they were right! I would not have expected an Irish pub to have delicious tavern style pizza! We were there on a Sunday evening and they had Irish musicians. The music was lovely. We sat at the bar and the bartender was really friendly. She seemed a bit overwhelmed. They had Harp and Guinness on tap. Definitely a neighborhood joint. read more

Clancy's Pizza Pub - Pubs Near Me - Oak Lawn, Illinois

I came here on a Tuesday night for karaoke. Joe is a nice guy.. Larry has no personality and no professionalism! 3 weeks in a row, he was out of a food item!? YOU ONLY HAVE 7 ITEMS !!! LEARN HOW TO PLACE AN ORDER!! one week... no cheese pizza. Bext week, no cheese sauce...the week after that no corned beef?? So Larry says, you can place your order with the full size restaurant and they'll bring it here... Great ! But why should I have to pay a delivery fee for the inconvenience?? HOW ABOUT YOU STOP BEING SO CHEAP AND TURN ON THE AIR CONDITIONING?? man ..it's soooooooo uncomfortable in there! 88° outside, makes it 115° inside! read more

I'm Irish & Catholic with all the rights & privileges given. This means I'm a lot of fun and... Clancy's $4 Guinness pint 2:30 - 5:30 M-F. "Beer is proof that God loves us and wants us to be happy. " Benjamin Franklin Great food and reasonable prices. Give 'em a try. read more

I've eaten food from Clancys several times and it's usually pretty good. Their irish spring rolls and pot roast rolls are crazy delicious. The corned beef is ok, and burgers are good. I was in one night and a customer recommended the pizza. Now, I love pizza and never had it here so I ordered a pepperoni, black olive and cheese to go. Ummm...no. this is not good pizza. Sometimes a place will have a bad crust but decent sauce. Or bad sauce but cheese and meat are good. Here? I could only find a few pieces of pepperoni, and the cheese was tasteless, the crust was horribly bland. The sauce, tasteless also. A big strikeout (the Sox were on TV). read more

I ordered the Corned Beef on rye and chips, I thought it was kind of chewy. I ate half and took the other half home and ate it that evening for dinner. It was too fatty for me. My sister said that their cheesesteak sandwich is good, I'll try that next time. My one sister ordered the Reuben, she said it was good and my other sister ordered the Irish Spring Rolls (Corned Beef, Sauerkraut, and Swiss Cheese) she liked it. Our server Lori with her Johnny-on-the-spot service unfortunately run her ragged being the bartender and the waitress at the same time. Clancy's is a nice Irish pub that mostly caters to a retired crowd. read more

Great Pot Roast rolls and corned beef. We see Many locals dine in and eat with their family's. Waitresses can get a bit busy but I feel like sometimes may forget to check in. read more

Nice restaurant but each time I've gone, my order has been wrong. The waitress needs to write down the order and not try to remember it. The chicken rice soup is delicious though. read more

I went to clancys on 95th to have a few drinks and play the machines. The machines went down while I was playing. I sat there 3 hours waiting for someone to come and cash out my tickets for 164.00. Asked the bartender if she could cash me out and she said no. Bull...she could give the person who came the machines the tickets and get the money back. WILL NEVER GO THERE AGAIN!!! read more

I visited Clancy's for the first time with a group of family members. It was a very packed Saturday night and the staff was hustling. Nonetheless, our service was top notch and the food delicious. I loved the cream of chicken soup. Definitely homemade and wishing I had ordered a bowl instead of a cup. I had the corned beef sandwich and it was fantastic. The establishment definitely had a friendly neighborhood feel and loved that they had live music. Can't wait to pay another visit to Clancy's. read more

Karaoke every Tuesday night from 7 to 11 pm.....great place, friendly bartenders, great libations and even some pub appetizers. Try it, you'll LOVE it!!! Smokin' Joe is the DJ and he'll make you sound like a star!!!! read more

Hands down, the WORST corned beef I have ever had. It was cut ribbon thin, with the grain!!!! Bread was oily and salty. The pickle looked like it was on its death bed. Who was working the kitchen? Crazy from a place that says it's known for corned beef. Waitress was overwhelmed but also super slow to get food out. No napkins brought. read more

Love the food here. Service is very slow but the food is great Love the corn beef and cabbage rolls. The Rueben sandwiches are great. Never had anything there I didn't like read more

The food and service have done downhill. I've ordered two pizzas in the last month and a half. One pizza had very little cheese (pictured), so I called and they sent me another one. The second pizza had cheese, but had HUGE chunks of veggies that were pretty much raw, rather than sliced cooked veggies. I didn't bother complaining the second time, I just won't order food from here for a while. Although the advertise their "Beat the Virus Specials" they do not honor the price, or at the very least you have to tell them. Neither the pizza nor the Fish/Chips and Shepards pie (two different orders on two different days) were priced at the special price. Moreover, when I show up to pick up my food, I literally have to walk back behind the counter before I am even acknowledged. Not even a "be with you in a minute" until I walk behind the normal pickup area and back to where they are filling beers do I get any kind of acknowledgement. Clancy's used to be far better than this. read more

Clancy's Pizza Pub - Pubs Near Me - Oak Lawn, Illinois

Best place ever. Must get pot roast rolls!!! Pizza is awesome. Great place for Irish cuisine and they have live music at least once a week! Cannot say enough about how great the pizza is for being a pretty hidden gem of the south side! Service is always great as well! And the owner Kevin is extremely kind and welcomes all. They somewhat recently expanded the bar/restaurant and it turned out amazing. Olivia and Erin are by far my favorite employees. read more

I ordered Clancy's on 103rd today. The loaded French dip was horrible. Dry and they never gave any au jus that was suppose to come with it on the side. My other issue, it was stuck to the paper it came in. This was a second chance for them. Never again! read more

Clancy's Pizza Pub - a pulled pork sandwich - Pubs Near Me - Oak Lawn, Illinois

A great place to meet up with friends and make new ones the the service is great & the food is amazing

Went in to Clancys last night with a group of neighborhood people. The lady bartender had the most sour personality I've ever come across. Everytime we ordered drinks she acted angry as if we were an inconvenience. read more

We arrived on a Friday around 9pm. Luckily there was a booth open for us because it was busy! Our group of 4 shared a 12 inch pizza, BBQ chicken wings, and fries. The food was what you'd typically expect of bar food - nothing extraordinary, but not bad either. They had live music which was nice! We ordered a second round of drinks, but decided to pay our bill and head out after about 20 minutes of waiting and no drinks in sight. Overall a nice place to catch up with friends and family while enjoying some drinks. read more

I decided to give this place ANOTHER chance after a poor experience years ago. As they say, fool me once, shame on you, fool me twice, shame on me. I won't make the same mistake again. To try and make a long story short, I placed an order over $60.00 today, only for there to be a mix up with the delivery. The problem came when the manager called me and was extremely rude to me about it. Yes, a food order did arrive to me, but there was nothing on the bag to identify where it was from. And as we have many issues on my block with things being delivered to the wrong address, yes, even food orders, I assumed this was completely unrelated to my food order that wasn't due to be delivered for another 30 minutes and that the real person who ordered it would come looking for it, which is what typically happens. I should note that this was a contactless delivery, so I only saw the driver in his car and wave as he drove away and all I knew for sure was that this mystery order wasn't mine. Ten minutes after my order should have been delivered, I get a call from the manager at Clancy's. To say that she was rude is putting it politely, she was downright ignorant. She seemed very upset with ME that this mixup had happened. I have ZERO idea how it was MY fault that I was delivered someone else's order. Or why she didn't believe that there was nothing on the bag indicating where it was from. Had there been something on it, a ticket, a bag printed with their logo, anything, I would have called immediately about it. I get that mistakes happen. Humans aren't perfect. She was even more ignorant when I said that I still wanted my original order. I guess she thought I should be happy with the lesser order that I actually received, none of which I would ever eat. After we hung up from that call, I began to get more upset by it. I fail to find the words as to how inappropriate this woman was. So I decided to call back, ask to speak to a manager and cancel the order. If you can't already guess, she was the one that was put on the phone when I asked to speak to the manager. She even tried to act like I was talking to someone different and I hadn't just spoken to her 5 minutes before. I told her that I wanted to cancel the order and asked why she felt the need to speak to me so poorly. Her response was to hang up. Never again will I try this place. And I'll make sure to tell everyone else around here not to either. read more

I had to come here during the pandemic to be reminded of what a REAL salt of the earth working class Irish pub is like in Chicago. I came on a John Williams night twice. Once we sat outside and I had the corned beef sandwich and next time was mid-pandemic when the bar was all remodeled and extended, the bathroom state-of-the-art, and John Williams was still playing by the door while I worked my way through the fish & chips. I wish Kevin would buy a third pub because we need more room to hold all that fun and joy. Ten thumbs up to Kevin who gets what the good Lord put us on this earth for - to give back to the community. Thanks to you & the missus for setting an example for the rest of this city. :) It's not just about brick & mortar for Kevin - it's about the heart and soul inside. read more

Was just there couple weeks ago. Place was dirty. Service was not great and the food just was tasteless. Wanted to believe a bad night yet went back couple weeks later with same result. read more

Excellent Everything. Pizza is extra thin crust baked to perfection. Reuben is generous with fresh cut crispy french fries. Irish Nachos was phenomenal home made chips topped with melted cheese, corned beef and Giardinera. read more

LOVE LOVE LOVE the Pot Roast Spring Rolls, could eat them every day!! Pizza is good and so is the food. Great casual place for friends or the family. read more

I figured I would give their pizza a shot because their Ruben egg rolls are fantastic. The pizza came earlier then expected but was somehow still moderately cold. Not to mention the order was completely wrong. I ordered a "super pizza" with half cheese for kids and half pepperoni and sausage for the adults. The girl even repeated it to me and was super kind on the phone. It would have been enjoyable if the order was correct and I was able to reheat the pizza for the kids. I should have stuck to Phil's instead. read more

Have been coming to Clancy's for several Monday nights with server Judy. She does a wonderful job however we have not been seen her last couple of Mondays? Our group of six truly have missed her. Hope she is back on Monday? Always friendly & gives us great service. Kathy, Barb & Debbie ( & husbands). read more

We love the food here, but lately every time we place an order, we get there and it's never been placed. Or they keep you on the phone forever and then just drop your call, you call back and still won't place your order. After the 3rd failed attempt we just gave up on this place. read more

Had a fish sandwich last Friday. It had a bone in it as BIG as my thumb. I don't think it was a fish bone ( way too large) But this was the third times we ordered and it seems to have a problem getting it straight. ( Always some type of screw up with the order. ) The food is good if you eat in. Not very good with phone orders. read more

Clean place, cute bartenders.... but some guy kept talking about this being a 5 star place. Didn't have that 5 star feel though... meh

We went in they told us to pick a seat we sat down ordered two sandwiches with fries and water to drink and then I also ordered a salad 40 minutes from my salad to show up and another 40 plus minutes asked where our food was they never came back to tell us so we got up and walked out. I try to be very patient with people but when you don't get any response all I can do is leave. read more

The food is absolutely delicious. Atmosphere is fun and has a very local feeling to it. My only issue (and unfortunately it's one that keeps me from ordering here often) is it literally takes an hour at the very least before your food is ready, sometimes an hour and a half. It's not because they're busy. Maybe more hands in the kitchen would help. Just my 2 cents. read more

I've worked in the Restaurant and Bar business for over 40 years first as a server, bartender, corporate trainer for the House of Blues, and manager. I've been going to Clancys since the first day they opened. It's our favorite place after Jack Gibbons garden, food is outstanding, the help is great, especially Lori, we miss Kalee too. Kevin and Katie have done a wonderful job. Great neighborhood place, and the remodel is fabulous!! Peggy Murphy, Chicago read more
